Trying to contact Long Ago Roses.....

6 years ago

I have been trying to send Linda an email to find out about some roses......


I think either her email has been corrupted and hijacked, or where where she has her email hosted has been hijacked.... There is not a phone number for her and she may not know there is a problem. I was hoping to place an order. Does anybody know how to contact her other than email.


I have gotten a bounce back several different times over the last couple of days from both my personal and my work email. She needs to go to abuse.org and get whitelisted.

The message says

    I tried a little search to help you contact her, Sharon, though I realize aqua eyes may have told you how to do this.

    Looks like she is a HMF member who is active, posting a week ago. So you could PM her if you are a member, too.

    Websites indicate she is registered to vote with the Elephant party. Which party is that? You could contact them to request contact info.

    I sent her an email a couple weeks ago and she answered right away. Something may have happened since. I need to get back with her so I will 'reply' to her email to me and see if that goes through. Let you know.

    lkayetwvz5 I sent one a couple of weeks ago too. She was very prompt in getting back to me. We corresponded back and forth. I just hit reply sender and my message would go right through.

    Yesterday I was hoping to find out about a couple of more roses and I just hit reply and it came right back with the message. I tried again later... same thing happened. Then I tried from the actual website and then pasting the web address right into my email and it still didn't work.

    This has happened to a couple of companies that I have done work with and it always turns out that the email got hijacked and sent out spam OR the hosting company had someone else using their hosting services that sent out spam.... they had to go to abuse.com and get white listed..... the thing is she can probably send email but just won't be getting any..... hope it all works out. It is a hassle to have to deal with especially when you are not the one spamming but getting spoofed.

    Thanks

    @sharon2079, I sent Linda an email, and *so far* it hasn't bounced back. I've known Linda for years, and I told her not to worry about answering, since I'd know it went through if I didn't receive an "undeliverable" notice. It's been about 10 minutes now, so far so good.

    I think my email went through this time... the problem must have been the hosting system.

    Thanks for everyone's help

    Linda, I tried contacting you as well a year ago or more to buy roses, but never got a response. Can't remember if I used the web form.

    I know you are trying to respect Houzz's policies so I did not try to message you through Gardenweb.

    Grrr,,, don't know what is going on with the email.... I thought it went through..... but now two hours later it bounced back AGAIN...

    @sharon2079. Here's the latest from Linda. There was a problem with an ip address being blacklisted. Someone else from here, other than myself, evidently has been in contact with Linda, as well. Here's the email she sent:


    John,
    I sent my site server people the kickback info provided by someone on GW
    trying to contact me. They said the following:

    "Thank you, this does show it was a Homestead ip address that was
    blacklisted, I will alert the team that monitors the blacklisted ips and
    get this rotated out to continue communication. Please allow a couple
    hours for this to get rotated out. "

    I hope that will solve it. I still wonder if there's a separate issue
    with using a " send email" form rather than typing in my email from
    their email. I am hesitant to post this info on GW myself as I
    mostly try to avoid mentioning business stuff there. I hope you'll
    feel free to post it if you like.
    Thanks,
    Linda


    I hope this resolves the issue, Sharon. Please try emailing Linda one more time. Good luck!


    John

    Thank you John. I appreciate it. I will give it a couple of hours and try it.... will let you know. I appreciate your help and Linda's too

    Just wanted to say THANKS for helping out John. After Linda contacted her provider, it appears that my emails are able to go through. I have successfully been in touch with her.
